opinions on truck tires
-
I know the Firestone Destination LE are crap tires so the same could probably be said about the M/T
I would buy Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo

Do not waste your time or money with the cooper or firestone.
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -
If you're not worried about winter traction the firestones aren't bad, especially on an older truck. I'd steer away from goodyear as they have been struggling with the economy for quite a while and their products are showing the signs of being made cheaper. If you have the money go for Nitto or Toyo though, you get what you pay for if they are on a newer vehicle.

I sell <u>ALL</u> of the a fore mentioned tires. If I was to rate them based on CUSTOMER feedback, I'd put the REVO's at the top of the list and the BFG's a close 2nd. The mt's completely suck in the winter so don't bother. If looks are what your after, get the Nitto Dune grappler before any mt. They actually don't do too bad. But believe it or not the Firestone Destination A/T's are a great tire in all seasons as well. I have had very mixed reviews on the Toyo, the Coopers, and the Yoko's. The Terra Grapplers are a great option as Jason pointed out.
On a personal opinion.... REVOS-TERRA GRAPPLERS-BFG KO's are what my final 3 would be. Nitto is the real bargain for price.

the revos and terras are just not aggressive enough for what i am looking for though.
thanks to everyone else for your opinions.

You want aggressive?

Nitto also makes the Trail Grappler MT tire too that just got added to their lineup.

I have Destination A/Ts on my Tahoe and I'm quite fond of them. May actually buy another set (or BFG A/Ts) when I decide to go with 33s.
Basically rate the same as the Revo that was suggested but for quite a bit less.

i have a set of bfg mt km2's... very good in deep snow/mud... they are ok on ice, but if im on ice i have all fours locked in anyway..same with me, usually locked in. I think i will probably go with the firestones i think. I did some more research and saw that most people said these did pretty decent on ice and snow compared to most MT's. plus theyre studable if i absolutly have to but i doubt i will.
